Executive of Corporate Relations

 

 

Executive ​of Corporate Relations  

 
Position Description:  

 
The primary responsibilities for the position include maintaining and developing relationships with external 
corporate sponsors. This includes engaging with our current sponsors as well as seeking out and onboarding new 
sponsors throughout the year. You will work closely with various portfolios such as Marketing, Events, 
Engagement, and Academics to develop opportunities for sponsorship.  
The types of sponsorships that the Corporate Relations Portfolio will need to secure next year will largely depend 
on whether our academic term is online or in-person. However, maintaining and creating relationships with 
sponsors remains extremely important and you will be well prepared for both cases.  
Within the Corporate Relations portfolio, there are three main responsibilities: the Gustavson Commerce Club, 
the Gustavson Discount Card and monetary sponsorships or in-kind donations for events. As an Executive, you will 
lead a team of 5-6 Directors. Typically, your Directors will be split up, working on each of these responsibilities in 
unison.  
For the position’s qualifications, we look for sales skills, interpersonal skills, time management and 
the ability to think dynamically is an asset. You will gain valuable experience working with 
businesses, leading a team and finding strategic and creative ways to create and communicate 
value for our sponsors.​
